Saturday Specials

Once or twice a year, GXSA organises training courses for the benefit of its members. These are usually "one day events" held on a Saturday which cover various topics according to demand. Where appropriate, these have the benefit of RYA approval and certification. Topics have included: astro navigation, radar, knots and splices, diesel engine maintenance, boat electrics, GRP repairs and first aid.

GXSA Masterclasses

These are significant one day events organised around a particular topic and open to a wider audience than GXSA members.

The last event was in Autumn 2011 when Jimmy Cornell, author and highly experienced yachtsman explained the intricacies of Ocean Cruising. It was very well attended.
